Election day will soon be upon us and I feel that the office of State Representative in District 40 is very important. One of the candidates is Regensberg. The fact that I have the same last name has nothing to do with it. I have always been a professional.

It is true that a 20-year-plus friendship runs deep as this is what we have shared with Tomás and Loretta Salazar, but it also serves to offer an accurate reflection on the other´s character.

Tomás Salazar is my candidate for State Representative in District 70. Tomás is a rancher from rural San Miguel County. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics and sits on several prestigious committees at both the local and national levels. Tomás retired from New Mexico Highlands University in 2003 after serving as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

We feel for Ashley Salazar — $30,000 is a lot to pay for a mistake — but that doesn’t change the fact that her manufactured home needs to be moved. It’s only fair to the neighbors who object to the home’s placement on her property at 807 Erb Place, and it wouldn’t be right to punish the neighbors for someone else’s bad judgment.
